CIP Summer 2010 Programs Dublin, Ireland — Ireland in Transition June 30-July 30, 2010 Highlights Contemporary Dublin is one of the fastest growing capitals in Europe. The city is rich in history and tradition and enjoys cultural diversity and the unsurpassable beauty of the surrounding Irish countryside. Within Dublin lies a complex society with a rich and emotional history, ethnic and religious diversity, a varied linguistic heritage, and a world-renowned literary and artistic tradition. As the population, political, economic and cultural capital of Ireland, Dublin serves as an excellent site for studying Ireland through the ages while observing the modernity of the 21st century.
